STEAM: Deals Thread

[Cantih]

I'd hate to use my Steam client if I ever won that.

Maybe it's an excuse for them to make an update to the client to improve the functionality of that part.
(Also goddamn, tabbed browsing would really be handy in the steam client)

My freebie gift is...-50% off Valve games. Eh...it is tradable though.

[Fereydoon]

Picked up Just Cause 2 for 5 bucks, is Orcs Must Die any good? It's super cheap atm.

My freebie gift is...-50% off Valve games. Eh...it is tradable though.

And good through March. Though it doesn't say if it stacks on top of sale prices.
I got one too.

[Insanecyclone]

Hoard any good? Got it as a gift too, apparently.

[Correction]

Ugh these fucking achievements...fuck it, not doing them.

[synistar]

Got Call of Cthulu and 50% off the "check your inventory" box.

[Cantih]

Hoard any good? Got it as a gift too, apparently.

I played the PS3 demo way back.
I'd say it's good, despite being not quite my thing. Though, it might not have the same depth to the gameplay something like Fat Princess had.

Pro tip: Don't buy the Fable 1 PC port that just popped up on steam and is on sale. Terrible port and I'm regretting buying it. =/

Lost Chapters? I enjoyed it on pc but it was kind of a poor port job. At least the 'extra' stuff was alright.

[Cantih]

Ahh, I got the Pendulo pack. The Next BIG Thing has been on my wishlist for a while, and from $30 to 7.50 is hard to ignore, and then all three bits of Runaway for only $5 more, not a hard choice.

Portal 2 and Sam & Max are also good deals, though I want the PS3 versions myself.

[Kerberoz]

You can do the achievements any time until the end of the sale, correct? Too lazy to check rules.

[Insanecyclone]

You should be able like all the other achievement sales they've had

[Salodin]

Total War: Shogun 2 worth getting for 15 bucks?

Does it stutter a shitload for you?

I reinstalled my retail copy of it from years ago, and it was barely playable on my current rig even after patches.



As far as the free gift goes, mine was -25% off a Valve game. Useless for me since I own essentially every Valve game, nor do I doubt they'll release a new pay-for game between now and March.

[Eanae]

It runs fairly smoothly, just the controls are jittery and really hard to play.

For my gift I got the 25% off a valve game as well. Completed a second achievement but for some reason their system is broke and not awarding new gifts. =/

[Guyverarmor]

I got Half Life Episode 2 for free. I need to go buy HL2 now >.> lol

[rezn0r]

HL2 is on the list of games i think everyone should have anyway :]

[Salodin]

I got 50% off any valve game, not that it matters cause they've practically given every game away before...

[Shojin]

Total War: Shogun 2 worth getting for 15 bucks?

It was on sale on steam 2 or 3 days ago as a daily deal for $10.
